Abstract
The development of new water-based fire suppression
technologies has traditionally involved extensive
full-scale fire performance testing. As the applications
of the technologies grow larger in terms of physical
dimensions and fire risks, performance testing of the
systems calls for increasing and sometimes prohibitive
resources both in terms of time and money. Recent
developments in the capabilities of fire simulation
software, especially the Fire Dynamics Simulator [1],
suggest that some experimental effort may be replaced by
computer simulations, cutting the R&D cost of fire
suppression systems.
